Large "booming" hearing outside,, NW side of corvallis

It doesn't look like I'll be able to find a rental(budget is ~$1300) with a WD or hookups. I'm extremely sensitive to scented laundry products, they make me ill, and they're really not good for anyone or the environment. Are there any laundromats that only allow natural or unscented products?

Found a card on the sidewalk by our house near Freddy’s—if your first name is Joshua & u lost your Oregon state credit union card, please contact me (you tell me your last name so I know it’s u) I will turn it in to the bank on Tuesday otherwise.

Maybe I'm the only one irritated by this but some of our roads really seem to encourage people creating their own turn lane in wide roads. 53rd and Philomath bullevard seems to be the worst offender. No right turn lane exists at these intersections and even if I'm stopped at the light with my blinker on more often than not someone just rolls up past everyone else to make a right turn. Could the city either mark a turn lane or ticket people who pretend one exists?

I thought they were just OSU propaganda

Anyway there’s one bodied on Oak Creek Dr west outside the ‘♢B’ farmhouse. Can see inside, does not appear to be an automaton

I’m getting together with an acquaintance that I’ve known from around town for years, but have only spent time with this person once (also years ago). We’ve always said we need to hang out and we’re finally getting around to it (not romantically, just two straight women in their mid-late 40s building a friendship).

I don’t drink and this person seldom drinks. I live outside of town. What is there to do around here in the early evening that doesn’t solely revolve around drinking? Any cool events happening?

If you accidentally received my DoorDash order at Willamette Court Apartments yesterday, took it inside, and wouldn’t answer the door when I came to get it:

1. That was my only birthday present I got all day, so that kinda sucked that you took it.

2. My sister sent it and wants to know how it tasted, so now I’m in a really awkward position 😅

3. It was just cake; it wouldn’t have gone bad if you left it for a little while to see if someone would come get it.

4. It had a different name and said, “happy birthday”, so you knew it wasn’t yours.

Maybe it’s just the planned timing of the stages of the project but seems like all work on the new road and 99 access just stopped. Now there is a pond on the west side of Samaritan drive. Anyone know when this is slated to be completed or if they hit a snag?

guess it's time to bust out the N95s outside? Jeezy creezy.

It looks soooo beautiful!! Happy to see the building being preserved and hopefully maybe repurposed soon?

I’ve got an 2012 Subaru Outback that has a puddle in the front side passenger wheel well. Car is starting to smell of mildew. Anybody know a place that tests for window leaks and fixes them? Already tried the dealership and they said they couldn’t

Is there a steakhouse in Corvallis? If not, is there a restaurant that my starving college student can get a steak at when we come to town?

Hey, person riding the wrong way down Harrison;

You will get killed next time. If you have any decency you would’ve not aggressively swerved into my car.

Does anyone know anywhere that could offer turntable repairs? I have a pretty beat up turntable and I am not sure what’s wrong with it. The specific model is the Rock’n’Rolla UFO turntable. Thanks.

Bicycle hitch-on cargo trailers…are there municipal regulations in Corvallis on what can be pulled, how big, the distance from back of bike, their construction, and any necessary lighting or reflectors, and possibly registration requirements? Are there statewide codes too? And, from the local cops, are there cargo related bike issues that they’re particularly eager to cite for?

EDIT: :3

Anyone know if there's an anti-republican protest going on in town tomorrow, or a republican protest we need to counter-protest? I've got some election anger I need to picket out of my system and I am also very capable of bringing food.

After the heavy rains it's been tasting really good. Extra chilly too. Just perfectly refreshing

I'm new to town and want to get back into my fitness routine, but i'm curious about people's experiences at planet fitness compared to the OSU gym. Primarily looking for info about crowds, accessibility to equipment, and cleanliness. Thanks!

My kids all over the age of 4 have asked to get their ears pierced. I’m looking for recommendations for ear piercing that isn’t Claire’s.

I just saw that Republic has resubmitted its application to expand the Coffin Butte landfill. The county is currently determining whether the application is complete, and if it is, then it'll go on to review (which will include the opportunity for public input). https://www.corvallisadvocate.com/2024/updates-benton-county-talks-about-imminent-union-strike-receives-new-landfill-expansion-application-mac-forest-slash-pile-burns-to-start/

Hello! A couple of weeks ago I asked if there were any dads groups in Corvallis, and the answer was no. So we made one! The Albany-Corvallis Dads Club (AC/DC) is a social group for all dads in the Albany/Corvallis/Lebanon/Philomath area. But even if you live in Portland or Pendleton and are willing to drive, our doors are open.

Right now we have a Discord server with about 12 guys. It's a space to chat with other dads, schedule get-togethers, share media recommendations, and squad up for video games. So far we've hosted one hike at Jackson Frazier Wetland, and this Saturday at 12PM, we'll be hosting our first Dad Chat meetup at the Barn in North Albany. The plan is to have lunch, share challenge and success stories, and plan some future in-person and virtual gatherings. Kids are welcome, but this Saturday's meet-up is mainly for dads to meet each other and talk about dad stuff. I'll get there around 11:45 to snag tables--I'll bring some balloons, so folks know where to find the group!

To join the AC/DC Discord, just click this link. For those new to the platform, here's a quick video explaining how Discord works. Fair warning--it's a new group so it's a bit quiet. Don't be shy about starting conversations, scheduling events, or posting pics!

On light of the recent election, some people in our community might be feeling vulnerable, distressed, or even panicked about the future ahead of us. In times like these it is important for us to come together and to keep each safe. If you are feeling overwhelmed please reach out to close friends, family, found family, etc. Hell, message me if you want. But let's not forget about each other's well-being.

Was it a perceived lack of proven political ability/experience? Lack of financing and resources for their campaigns? Something else? Or does their message just not resonate with local voters as it is?

I'm curious to hear y'all's thoughts, speculations, and reasons for voting how you did.
